Abstract

This research paper undertakes to explore the conceptual constructs of applying ‘Language Immersion Programme’ in our classrooms. Nowadays the world is behind multidisciplinary/holistic/integrated approach as regards to teaching learning process. Immersion approach of learning language endeavors to integrate language items with content parts. Instead of attempting to teach English language as a separate block, immersion programme offers subjects like biology, geography, mathematics prepared in a lucid way after diluting systematically selected language parts ranging from correct spelling to proper pronunciation. By immersion it is meant that something is to dip/submerge/plunge in water or something in liquid form. Here the denotation is that the target language is immersed or plunged into the discipline/content to be learned. The figurative meaning of immerse is also quit relevant. It means ‘involve some one deeply in a particular venture’. Instead of introducing a grammar-ridden package, which culminates in neuro-psycho disorders among learners, this immersion programme helps better materialize the idea content and language integration in an easier and interesting way. Along with guaranteeing higher level of language competency immersion programme endeavors to approach and handle the learning contents in a divergent and aesthetic way thus helping learners boost up their language creativity as well.
